Weddell Seal Reseach Camp

This camp is located in the Dellbridge Islands on frozen McMurdo Sound. The team studies population dynamics and more. This highly successful project has been going on for over 30 years and has applications in other ecosystems. The current PI is Bob Garrot from Montana. During my first season I was invited out to observe them while they tagged baby seals.
They work on the sea ice so the new people on their team take our "Sea Ice" safety course before heading out there.
